Officers said they were called to the scene of the crash near 90th Street and Wornall Road about 4 p.m. After colliding with a car, the bus was forced off the road and drove into a nearby yard, coming within a few feet of a house.

"I saw the bus sitting in my neighbor's yard and I was shocked to see that," said Susan Bergren.

She said she has seen other crashes there before, but nothing quite so serious. She said she is worried that her neighbor who lives in the house might have been frightened by what happened.

"There were kids involved, too, so that was concerning," said Bergren. "This street is totally busy all the time and too many people speeding. It's pretty dangerous."

Investigators said the person in the other vehicle suffered minor injuries in the crash, but none of the eight children who were on board the bus were hurt.

Bergren said she spoke to the bus driver about how she was able to avoid hitting the house.

"She said she took every bit of strength to turn that wheel," she said. She said a concrete sign helped stop her on impact.
